Tough decision to make! Welcome to Wrexham or Ted Lasso season 3?

Today is the day I have been waiting for. Ted Lasso season 3 will be available. I really enjoyed the 2 previous seasons. But, yes there is always a but. I started a few days ago to watch Welcome To Wrexham. Which does tell the story of 2 Hollywood stars taking over an English Football club, or should I say Welsh?

I couldn't imagine how much I would be dragged into the story. There are a whopping 19 episodes and not even half way. Finished the first 8 episodes. Not only I am interested if Wrexham AFC will promote (No spoilers please) but I really like how committed their fan base is and how many viewpoints they present! And after 8 episodes it does give the impression that Rob and Ryan (co-owners) are sincerely and do want to do the things fair and square. Also great how frustrated they are with the legislation in Wales. Probably/Possibly things could be arranged much faster in the states!

The funny thing is that both are football related but in both the Americans show up. In Ted Lasso we do have the coach who is American and has no clue about football but is more a people manager, while in Welcome to Wrexham, we do have 2 fresh owners, more or less having no clue what football is and means for the fans! That was clearly visible in episode 8 where they did visit for the first time a game of Wrexham, which was an away game. Ryan Reynold only had to travel an hour more from the States to the away game, than the Wrexham fans did with the trip from Wrexham to Maidenhead! For the Wrexham fans is way a 3.5 hours trip one way on a Tuesday evening!

So the dilemma I do have at the moment is: do I finish Welcome to Wrexham first and see if they do get promoted, how satisfied the Wrexham fans will be with the new owners after the season (regardless if promoted or not), will they be forced to fire their head coach? So many questions I still have! Or will I pause it and first watch Ted Lasso season 3. 12 times 30 minutes of Ted Lasso or 11 episodes of Welcome to Wrexham, which do last between 25 and 30 minutes!

Well if this is my biggest dilemma for today, I can say that I do have a great life!

Cheers,
Peter

Ryan Reynolds has always struck me as a pretty decent guy. I have been following him since his early days on Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Parlor. That was a great show. I haven't gotten around to watching Ted Lasso yet, but I know lots of people really enjoy it. I might have to put it on the list when my wife and I finish our current slate of shows.

Ryan indeed looks like a decent guy! I only knew Rob as actor in Mythic Quest. He seems to most passionate from the 2.
Ted Lasso is certainly a show I can recommend!

I started S3 of Ted Lasso :)

I decided to finish Welcome to Wrexham. Was a tough choice :)
Hope season 3 is at least as good as the other seasons.

Both of these are great shows. I'd do what you seem to be doing: finish Wrexham first. Really a great show, especially since it's actually reality TV. I remember when I finished the first one and then started looking up boxscores on the team. It was really very strange seeing the actual players from the show in the stats. The show is so well done it doesn't actually feel real. Just seems like make-believe. Really a great watch.

I'm super excited about Ted Lasso. The first two seasons were awesome so now that the third is out, I get to go back and rewatch them before diving into the third. Love it.

Indeed I added Wrexham to my favorites in flashscore.
Did finish Wrexham, now will have to find time to watch Ted Lasso.
